In a New 2025 Year please gift us all a working and intuitive space logistics for Factorio: Space Age .
I'm struggling with it from the moment 2.0.7 did hit my HDD - and the more I'm trying to learn it, the more infuriating it becomes.

Re: barrels balance

Uranium mining is nearest early-game (in Space Age) example.
Making acid on the spot is an overkill.
Dedicating whole wagon to acid hauling is an overkill.
But if you toss few barrels into your cargo...
Also, smuggling Lubricant to space.

Re: Quality Gating is flawed

But that my point, let reward the player for playing with quality. Right now except late game it's just gacha game and frustrating cause you can't have the luck to get legendary.

Re: [2.0.21] Locomotive has an additional slot where copper can be placed in

IMO it'd be more reasonable for the inserter entity to drop the spoil product on the ground and mark it for pickup by construction bots (unless the target can take it normally anyway).
Unless you're some drone maniac like me, you don't have 100% rail coverage nor 100% inserters coverage.

Re: Agricultural science pack interaction with other packs

Not directly, at the very least.
If currently selected Research needs Agriculture and all Agriculture is nearly rotten - Research, obviously, won't progress while inserters are flailing soon-to-be-spoilage around.

Re: Gleba has killed the game for me.

I prevent this sort of thing by never stopping science production. If the silos are full, the most spoiled packs are removed and cascaded down the line until they reach a holding area to let the excess packs spoil.
That's actually a good one.

Inserters can be configured to prefer most spoiled ...
